Movie Review | Our Souls at Night (2017)

Review by @filoso · 1654d · of Our Souls at Night

I am not of that age yet, but I feel completely in line with this quiet masterpiece. In s ome way, I feel strongly related, and I will find myself in, say, 30 years, doing the same.

"Our Souls at Night (2017)", which quietly came to me one day and became one of my favorite films. In fact, it was a little bit that the stories of the old people in their 70s already appealed to me in their 40s, but it was only a little early to get a feel for the emotions at the end of life's path that everyone ends up going - that's why & it's such a great movie. In an ordinary American town, on a peaceful late evening of Louis (Robert Redford), who spends a peaceful old age meeting people of her age, doing light shopping regularly, and doing chores, Addie (of her same age) lives nearby. Jane Fonda knocks on the door. She suggests to him "let's spend the night together," and to a somewhat surprised Louis, she says: "How hard it is to get through the night alone... but that doesn't mean we don't have sex. I need."

From then on, the two became neighbors, friends, and possibly lovers. In this process, various stories of life unfold, and at the end of the process, family, consideration, and unrestrained love and human relationships are finished very neatly. Yes, it's a flowy movie.

There are quite a few famous lines: Louis: Hello Addie: Louise? Louis: I can't sleep well. Addie: Me too Louis: What should I do? Addie: Well Louis: Aren't the nights really terrible? Addie: That's right. Louis: I think the conversation will be fine. How about it? Addie: That's a good idea. I don't know what the result will be Louis: What do you want to talk about? Addie: Anything is fine. All. whatever the weather Louis: What about the weather?

And the bedtime lines of those who spend the last night together really touches my heart.

Addie: How was the reaction? Louis: I cried. And I said, 'Is this your last night?' Do you remember that night clearly? Addie: Didn't you talk about that after that? Louis: I didn't. Addie: I think I'm still in love Louis: No. Addie: Sounds like love. Louis: You can love the memories, but that's a different story.

Below is the final scene from the movie:

Even in the 60's, 70's, and 80's and 90's, Mr. It was a pity to see Robert Redford aging, and Ms. Ms. Jane Fonda's appearance is still there, but it makes me feel sad. Still, the gentle performances of these famous actors and their acting skills that make you feel as if you are watching what is happening next door seem to have made this movie with a special meaning, which is meaningless in a way.
